iVe can not take the risk when money is sent in

Formerly there may have been some ground
for the remark, that “the only effect of registra
tion is only to make the letter more liable to be
stolen.'* But under the new law, which went
into operation last .June, we think registered
letters are perfectly sale; and we know from
almost dally txperiem* that others are not.

, Correspondence.
Mr. Editor: In your issue of 13th
inst., 1 have a communication over
the signature of “Interested," in
which I had reference to Rev. W. A.
llouck.
From what you say in nu editorial
in the same issue, in reference to a
Missionary, the impression lias gone
forth ill some portions of the Church,
where Bro. Houck is not well
known, that he is an invalid, or a
broken-down minister—which is far
from being true.
Interested.
We am sorry, anil regret it ex
ceedingly, that such “an impression”
was made by what we wrote. We
saw Brother Houck at Synod, and
are convinced, that there is no just
cause for such “an impression.” But
he will soon prove to the Church,
when he enters ilium his agency in
liebalf of Newberry College, that he
is a laborer that needeth not to be
ash a nii'd, and we are confident that
all to whom he appeals for aid to
establish this institution, so neces
sary and indispensable to tbe Church,
will feel that be is a strong and a
very strong man, for he will not
allow any man to say him: Nay.
The Sanctum.
I’eter, James anil John have had
another of their imaginary conversa
tions, that does not remind us of
Walter Savage, Landor. Tbe Lu
theran Vititor furnished them several
topics of discussion, and, considering
the spirit of the three high priests of
the American Sanctum, fared nut so
badly as it was; though sneered at,
not abused. But let our readers
judge for tlieinsolves:
John—Those Southern brethren are
an interesting people, however. I
understand the Southern General
Synod has adopted all the Symbol-
ical Books, ami therefore they stand
on the same doctrinal basis with the
Missourians, aud Iiuttalunians, and
the General Council. And yet, in
their practice, they totally disregard
the so-called “Fonv Points,” which
the Missourians, lUiftalouians, and
Geoend Council men so inucll insist
on. One of these points is, that no
Symbolical laitheran can exchange
pulpits with a minister of another
denomination ; another |miut is that
none but I.utliermiK of the Hymliol-
ieal sort are allowed to come to their
communion table. These are totally
disregarded by them, as you ran six-
by two consecutive |uiragraphs in
Brother Rude's paper, of the Oth
inst. Just listen to this, Dr. liiftle
writes from Slicpherdstow ii, Va. :
“Yesterday was a glorious day in
my chtireh. We had the Holy Hop
per, and around the altar kneeled,
with the Lutherans, German Re
formed, Methodists, Isith North and
Mouth, PresbyteriuuA, anil Epfact>pa-
linns. I received by ooofiruiatiorisix
interesting young (ample. In look
ing over my record, 1 find that iu the
short time of iny sojourn here (20
months) 1 added KIXTY TWO to my
membership. I try to give Jeans
Christ the glory."
dame*—'There is certainly not much
symbolism iu this. The Hyinladical
Rooks “condemn all those who teach
otherwise," nml it would !*• absurd
to say that German Reformed, Mctli
odists, Presbyterians, mid Kpiseo|ia
bans all teacii the same doctrine* as
they are taught iu the Symbolical
Books.
Peter—All this shows tliat men
can lie better than tile principles
they profess, ami hence we hImhiIi)
judge men more by their practice
than their profession. And just .
herein is where the Missourians are
so uncharitable. As Siam as a Synod
professes to have adopted the whole
of the Symbolical Books, they ex|xs-t
that Synod to curry out in practice
all that those I took* teach, to the very
jot and tittle, and if this is not en
forced, they denounce such a Synod
as un-Lutlieniii and liyjaieritical.
dame*—l must give the .Misaotui-
aaa right in this thing; for what etui
la- more alisurd than publicly to pro
fens » system of doctrines and then
practically disregard them. If I have
adopted the Symlmlical Books as my
doctrinal basis, 1 should feel bound
to carry out their teachings to the
very letter ami spirit.
John—1st me read you another
paragraph from Bro. Rude’s piqier,
illustrating the interehange of pul
pits in the South. (Reads.)
“ Dedication. A la-at frame
church, 25 by ;«» feet, at Hermitage,
Augusta County, Va.. was ihslie.it is I
on the 18th of July lust. It was
built by the Lutherans and Metho
dists for their joint use. The former
*o have the first and third, and the
latter tin* second ami fourth Suit-
baths of each mouth, (hi tbe day of
dedication, one liuudrtxl ami ninety-
one dollars were raised, which covers
the entire indebtedness. This i-hnreh
is iu the' charge of Rev. ('. Heard."
■lame*—What a gem of a little
church this must lie. 25 by.111! not
much kirgtff than our saiictaiu. And
yet two denominations, Methodist*
and Lutherans, expect to worship
harmoniously together there.
Veter-—Despise not the ilay of
small things. There may Is- more
good accomplished in that little
ehnreh, Ilian in the largest and most
magnificent cathedral. Those uppci
rooms ill which the early Christians.
used to assemble I presume were not
as targe an this little church. Anil
the house of Mary in which tlie
j Church assembled to pray for the
deliverance of Peter, 1 supjHisc had
no room as large as Bra. Beard's
church.
Peter is evidently the ts-st one of
the lot—lie has more charity than
cither John or James ; but the truth
i is, the America!< Lutheran dor* not
J understand, ami it therefore aumiex-t*
: anil often misrepresent* us. Nor
can it act otherwise. Tl»r inner life,
which may tie called the mind, the
( heart and the soul of the Chureli, is
i nothing to it. All that it regards,
j all that it esteems and values, is tlu-
outward appearance, the external
action, that which Lx heard ami seen
- by men. Doctrine* are nothing to
i it; measures, every thing. To the
! Lutheran Vititor doctrines are cvery-
i tiling; measure.-., only of Hecoinlary
I import. It holds fast to the Confes
sion anil the interpretation of it found
iu otlier Hymbols; but conecrnitig
measures, it teaches that every age,
every nation, and each individual
clmreli in our connection, is at lull
■liberty to adopt such ns an- liest
| calculated to accomplish the end iu
view, nnd to n-jix-t whatever is uti
suitable. Doctrines are divine; meas
ures, human. We ls-long indeed as
Lutherans to the Church u|s>stolic
and universal, both as regards doe
trine* anil usage. A* Ip the former,
the church ha* always, been agreed
—hence the (Ecumcual Creed* and
the A ugustaua; ns to the latter, it
has always exercised the utmost
freedom from restraint, which the
history of the church proves satis
factorily. This is the ]>o»itiou wc
occupy, nml this makes us a true
and faithful disciple of Luther. To
him iloctrinca were fuiidmm-ntal anil
essential; usages, ini'iisures, non-
essential. As to the word of God,
the “thus saith the I/ird,” the teach
ings of the Prophets and the Ajsw-
tlcs, lie tolerated no deviation, and
permitted no compromise; neither
do we. As to usages, measures,
forms, and ceremonies, he granted
the fullest liberty, nml was indeed a
thorough, new-mensnre man. This
is our position; this is the |K>»ition
of onr General Synod, mid in ]>erfeet
aeeordnnce with our rule of faith and
practice ns laid down in our Book of
Worship. We, “the Southern breth
ren," hnve one Lord, one faith, nml
one baptism. We require in essen
tials, unity-; we giant In non-e*ential*,
liberty-; we practice in nil things,
charity. We treat onr weaker breth
ren with forliearnm-e; we receive
him that is weak In the fotth, bat
not to doubtful disputations. We
require that all men should honor
the Son a* they honor the Father, iu
all places, in the chureli, the school
house, the dwelling, the busy mart,
the o|H‘ii Held.
Onr ministers nml jaxtple preach,
pray nnd praise the Triune dial any-1

lire whatsoever which dial has

will bless to the conversion of souls
